Used to fucking kill me walking up Chamberlain Ave. and/or Penkhull Bank to that place. Then again, sometimes it was even worse coming back down. I remember after one particular boozy afternoon, one of the lads I used to drink with got it in his head that he because it was downhill he would be able to run faster down Chamberlain than he could on level ground. Yeah, that ended well.

Fair play it was shite under the last owners
People getting ejected left right and centre for swearing
No swearing signs all over the walls
The greyhound was much better. Decent food aswell. Open mic night on a Wednesday.

Open mic night on a Wednesday. Pubs in Penkhull have been awful since Joe left The Terrace. Fair play to them hope it works out and its a decent choice on my doorstep . Haven't drunk in Penkhull for years now despite 5 pubs being spitting distance from me. Too much of a 'lads' atmosphere a lot of the time when it's busy. You're right about the evil witch who had the Marquis previously, miserable entitled cow. I'm happy to invest my spare cash in Public Houses but after the way I saw her behave never set foot in there. Unbelievable that she'd been in the trade for years.

The walk from Barnfields up Trent Valley Road to the Marquis used to kill me.

The beehive and greyhound are decent mate. Cracking ale in both. The beehive is a joules pub.

I'll give it a whirl, tend to walk down castle through Lyme Valley and spend too much money on 10% stouts. The town's going to shit but there's some cracking pubs up there and on the way back before you get to Hartshill.

Interesting story, the Marquess of Granby. There’s pubs all over the country, particularly in the Midlands, named after him. He was the son of the Duke of Rutland in the 18th Century who earned much renown and popularity as a cavalry commander during the Seven Years War. He led a cavalry charge against the French at Warburg in 1760, routing them and winning the battle, the only time in military history that the British cavalry has ever been so central to such a victory. Famously, his wig flew off during the charge, and he led it from the front with his completely bald bonce on view (from which we get ‘going at it bald-headed’ from). He was equally famous for his method of providing his veteran soldiers with a pension in the form of a grub-stake to set up a pub to provide them with a living when their army days were over. The only condition was that they had to name the pub after him, hence why we have so many 250 years later.

My favourite S-O-T pub and a great pre-match pint of Bass, go in there on a perishing cold February day with slate grey skies and you could almost touch the warmth of the welcome. Everything that is good about S-O-T under one roof, I loved that place, still walk past it with a heavy heart hoping it might rise from the ashes, but it ain't happening

the venue set for an 'industrial theme'
if this means some shit hipster look with deliberately unfinished walls and metal chairs everywhere they can fuck off, sick of these shit "trendy" places that serve badgers todger flavoured ale sweetened with root of nettle
the woodman in hanley is the perfect example of how to rennovate, its a comfy pub that is clean and has a nice fire, no unplastered walls or metal benches anywhere
i had to go on a stag do in liverpool the other week and was dragged around these bloody ale houses and they are full of pretentious wankers who just want to be seen in the hipster place,
if they are not doing this then good luck to them and discount all i said

It always makes me sad when I drive past The Bell and Bear in Shelton and see what a state it has got into over the last 10 years - will only be fit for demolition soon, if it isn't already.

There used be some ding-dongs outside that pub on matchdays Some 'proper' ding dongs. All the way down to Campbell Road, on occasion. Into Flecher Road on others.
